By excavating what’s beneath any friction, you can focus on the deeper motivation and change the conversation to one of understanding. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps you to understand compassionately your habitual behavior and to translate your judgments. Guided by the NVC facilitator Tera Gardner, this two-hour workshop introduces the key concepts of NVC as a foundation on which to build a practice. You will acquire tools of emotional intelligence to help generate new neural pathways for empathy. With a relationship to your own feelings and needs, you can create stronger connection both inside and out. Get ready to shift your perspective on a cellular level!
